Fabulous hideaway a few hundred metrea from centre of Holetown
Lovely apartment with all that we needed for a 10 night stay. Barbara, the host, was kind and helpful to us throughout. Only two minutes drive to the centre of Holetown, with a wide variety of restaurants and shops to choose from. This is a perfect place for a couple or small family to stay, hghly recommended. We had an emergency at the end of our stay, after we had left, and Barbara was kindness itself in helping us resolve it. The pool and sunbathing area was well-used by us. The local braches were also marvellous.

Diamond oasis beautiful
Another stay at the beautiful diamond oasis...we stayed 3 weeks this time.We are in our late 60s and it suits us perfectly, very peaceful quiet area. Beautiful garden with a very well kept pool, best sunloungers nice and strong and a gazebo to sit in if you wanted some shade. The apartment had everything we needed., the bed was nice and comfortable. Barbara our host is such a lovely lady and always at hand if you need to know something. We always hire a car to get around to visit beaches and places of interest. Holetown is a great place to stay at as there is so many places to eat and see there and you can easily travel to the north or south of the island. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at diamond oasis again such a lovely welcome by Barbara. Certainly going to miss you and the tranquility of the area. Honestly a wonderful place to stay its just up the road from limegrove..so easy to find. Book it and you wont be disappointed.

Great Stay
We had a great stay with Barbara at Diamond Oasis. The apartment was exactly as listed. It was clean, comfortable and very welcoming. The pool is a definite asset! We were within walking distance of Holetown which had beautiful beaches and excellent restaurants. Barbara was very accommodating and made us feel at home. The whole experience was wonderful! We had been to Barbados several times in the past but it was the first time for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. The loved Barbados and hope to be back in the future. I would not hesitate to stay with Barbara again!

Everything we needed for a wonderful holiday
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Barbara’s property. It has been ideal for us. Within walking distance of Holetown, though you need a torch if walking back at night. There’s no path at the side of the road and only a couple of street lights so you need to make yourselves as visible as possible. It is a very quiet residential area. We always hire a car and there is room for it to be parked outside in the small cul de sac. This is our seventh trip to Barbados and we have stayed in hotels but prefer self catering accommodation and it must have a private pool just for our use. The pool here is beautiful and just what you need to keep cool. It is very nice to sit outside at night too. We haven’t really cooked anything here but the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need, including a washer and dryer. Barbara lives above the apartment but is not intrusive in any way and is a very lovely lady if you do want to have a chat. We would happily book again for our next visit and we thank Barbara for her hospitality.

Great family holiday
The pictures don't do the property justice, it is beautiful and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed and the private pool was great. The 15 min walk into town was fine and we never used a taxi, although some might find that easier. Barbara was an excellent host and couldn't do enough for us. From getting us some food in, letting us stay late as we had a late flight and calling us a taxi, Barbara made us feel extremely welcome.

Fabulous Diamond Oasis
We just returned from a 10 night stay at the Diamond Oasis. The property exceeded our expectations. Our hostess, Barbara,. was instrumental in making our stay fabulous!! She was nearby. She was always available and extremely helpful. She anticipated our needs. She even purchased eggs, bread, milk and coffee for our arrival. We got terribly lost leaving the car rental at the airport. Barbara actually drove down and rescued us!!! We followed her car back to our lodging. I am eternally grateful to her. Our lodging was fully furnished.Every morning we would see the wild monkeys. We spent a lot of time at the Sandy Lane Beach . We loved Barbados.We loved the Diamond Oasis and especially Barbara! Karen Haagensen Madison,WI., USA

Pleasant stay
The highlight is definitely the pool and that part of the garden. The apartment is in the basement of the property with little natural light. Before arriving I specifically asked if the 'secluded' garden was overlooked. I was told it wasn't, and therefore disappointed to see up to 8 windows with visibility of the pool and 3 CCTV cameras in use. Previous advice on carrying a torch if walking home after sunset proved to be a must. Suggest a small rewrite of the description.

Excellent place for a couple to relax
The apartment is very nice. Well equipped, clean and updated. The pool area is beautiful as is the gazebo with large grill. Short walk into Holetown but be careful as there is no sidewalk. A flashlight at night is a must. Barbara is an excellent host and whenever we had a question or needed something she responded immediately.

Lovely accommodation
Lovely accommodation with fabulous pool we even saw a family of monkeys pass through one day. The garden was lovely and we had this all to ourselves. Around the pool were the best sunbeds with really thick cushions so very comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for our needs. We hired a car which we kept for the whole time as we felt it was a necessity to get home in the evening after dinner as road home was uphill fast and dark. Barbara was a lovely host and made us extremely welcome.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was well equipped, and Barbara was on hand if we needed her. Having the pool to ourselves was brilliant, and we enjoyed barbecuing by the pool a couple of evenings. The location is very close to Holetown and the beaches, but in a quiet neighbourhood . A great find.

Great place and location
The property is very nice - just as advertised and Barbara was lovely and helpful from beginning to end . I’m sad to leave ! There was a minor fault with something which she didn’t know about till we told her and she got the repair man out quickly next day It’s well located - a fifteen min walk into Holetown with supermarkt , shops , restaurants and beaches and to an excellent bus service on the west coast Reataurant recommendations: zacchios, champneys, Tides, La Cabane (new in last 3 years), lone ranger, QP bistro (reincarnation of thr cliff bistro ) Masseys is owned by Waitrose and you can get most things there - certainly waitrose own brand - that you can get in the UK Decent wine is hard to come by unless jn the upmarket restaurants . Consider taking a bottle or two. The best of Masseys fine wine selection is the equivalent of a bog standard Marlborough sauvignon Check out the monkeys at 6.20 am near the house or in the mornings near the old nine hole golf course And enjoy honing your grilling skills with the brilliant outdoor grill Marvellous stay Thank you Barbara Will return

Relax in an Oasis
Property exactly as described in a quiet area but walking distance to Holetown beach, shops and restaurants. Just over 10 minutes in flip flops to the Limegrove center (few minutes more on uphill return) and although no pavement, we didn't feel unsafe with the traffic. Torch a necessity for night-time. Private pool was wonderful and the gas BBQ very useful. The host Barbara is friendly and welcoming and was also very flexible with our booking, something needed in these current times! Greatly enjoyed our first visit to Barbados, a lovely island and friendly people. Thoroughly recommend Diamond Oasis if you're looking for relaxation but close enough to all facilities needed.
